- There are no Problems. Use reserved IP numbers like 192.168.*.*
- for your local ethernet connection. Do not set GATEWAY to yes
- on any machine (AmiTCP:db/AmiTCP.config). Set NetMask for your
- SLIP connection properly.
-
- When you set GATEWAY to yes on your SLIP machine, you can
- talk from both machines over the SLIP line. Normaly security
- checks on your providers machine will not alow this.
